Chapter 178: Roaming the Battlefield, The Dragon’s Tyrannical Power
The pure-blood dragon’s aura made the Merfolk tribe regard Mu Lin with great favor, considering mobilizing their entire clan’s resources to appease and sustain him.
Yet Mu Lin knew nothing of this. At this moment, he was lost in the exhilarating rush of violently crushing everything around him.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom… BOOM!!!"
Like thunderbolts tearing through the sky or cannonballs soaring, lightning-clad Mu Lin plowed through the battlefield like an unstoppable tank. Rocks, monsters, evil spirits—all were crushed beneath his overwhelming power.
"Hell yeah!"
"No…"
"Retreat…"
"You can’t defeat me… ARGH…"
"Attack together or perish!"
"CRACK!"
The mansion swarmed with formidable monsters and evil spirits, including several at the Spirit Pool Realm. Under the four Spirit Pool Realm evil spirits’ command, the creatures launched counterattacks—curses and maddening whispers clawed at Mu Lin’s mind. Flames, gales, bone spikes, and corpse poison surged toward him. Even hulking monsters tried barring his path.
All in vain.
Spirit Pools varied in potency. Though Mu Lin wielded only the Body of a Dragon’s power, this near-perfect draconic evolution granted strength far surpassing ordinary Spirit Pool Realm foes. His defense, speed, and regeneration made him untouchable.
Yet raw power alone didn’t terrify the monsters. What broke their resolve was his mastery over thunder.
"ZAP!"
"KABOOM!"
The blazing lightning annihilated evil. Ghostly wraiths—normally immune to physical strikes—shattered upon contact. Bronze and iron-armored corpses melted under electric lashes. Curses and vile magic couldn’t even reach him—the crackling storm around Mu Lin vaporized all corruption.
"UNSTOPPABLE!"
Thunder roared as Mu Lin rampaged across the battlefield, drunk on the ecstasy of unleashed power.
However, while he felt exhilarated, the monsters suffered greatly. In mere moments, Mu Lin had slaughtered over half the evil spirits invading the mansion.
Even Spirit Pool Realm evil spirits fell before his overwhelming power.
Among them was a weeping female ghost whose steel-like hair grew endlessly, though her true threat lay in her faint, haunting sobs. These mournful cries pierced souls, making people feel deep sorrow… and then it was over.
"Audacious monster! You dare trespass in this City God’s domain! By decree – perish!"
"Wuwu… No, mercy…"
"BOOM!"
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back. Mu Lin’s soul strength reached Spirit Sea Realm, his rank that of the exalted City God. Had the ghost not entered his City God Realm, he’d have struggled to manifest his divine authority. But attacking his domain as a spirit? Mu Lin could only comment: "You’re bold."
Divine Light flashed like lightning. The City God’s decree not only purged invading forces from Mu Lin’s soul, but sent the weeping ghost reeling with soul-shaking tremors. Seizing the moment, Mu Lin dashed to embrace the dazed ghost, unleashing his full lightning power.
*Crackle… BOOM!*
Lightning erupted from his body, evaporating the ghost completely.
…
Mu Lin’s battlefield dominance and ruthless extermination of the ghost made Chu Lingluo and Yan Yunyu watch with shining eyes. His display also silenced the Merfolk tribe’s quarrels.
Some Merfolk had resisted acknowledging this human who’d luckily gained pure dragon power. "He’s no true dragon! His potential’s questionable!" They wanted him rated Xuan-level rather than Earth-level. To the Merfolk, only juvenile true dragons deserved Heavenly-level – beings requiring entire clans to worship as gods. Yet such Destined Ones were rarer than dragon pearls, leaving their tribe never having nurtured Heavenly-level talent.
Dissenters and opportunists alike fell silent witnessing Mu Lin’s might. Even staunch opponents admitted: he wielded authentic dragon power, ranking among its strongest bearers.
His performance awed external observers too, though noblewomen reacted differently from dragon-worshiping Merfolk. They felt no dragon might nor saw any holy aura around him.
"Not completely useless after all. I thought he was all bark and no bite."
"At least Lingluo didn’t pick actual trash."
Mu Lin’s basic competence spared Chu Lingluo total humiliation, relieving her true supporters. This displeased Wei Jing, who wanted to mock Chu Lingluo’s mother. Seeking superiority, she sneered:
"What’s strength without lineage? His growth’s capped. Worse, he’s recklessly arrogant – flaunting all his power immediately? How’ll he survive the later stages?"
"Just watch – he’ll fall today… Wait, look! He’s done for NOW!"
All eyes turned as Mu Lin’s unrestrained energy attracted a true monstrosity – a stinking Corpse Mountain over ten meters tall, radiating Spirit Sea Realm aura. With three Spirit Pool spirits aiding it in the mansion, logic said Mu Lin stood no chance.
Wei Jing smirked at Chu Lingluo’s mother in mocking tone: "Si Ye, your niece needs better judgment. Real strength requires more than flashy power – it needs wisdom. Such arrogance breeds early graves."
